A controversial event occurred during the European Fencing Championships in Basel, involving Ukrainian Olena Kryvytska and Russian Maya Guchmazova, who represented Georgia.

Source: Champion

After the fight, which Kryvytska won with the score of 15:9, the Ukrainian refused to shake hands with her Russian opponent. Guchmazova cursed in response: "Fu**, why are they allowed sh** like this, who the fu** do they think they are?"

Russian Maya Guchmazova, who represented Georgia.
